    Can a backup file deleted from an external drive, be recovered?


    Hello


    I accidentally (to free some space) deleted a .bak file from an external drive and it contained the only copy of some files I had. Is there a way to recover it?

    :)

    Can a backup file deleted from an external drive, be recovered?

    Recovering deleted files

    Yes.

    Make backups with something like Macrium Reflect.

    The stuff you lost is probably gone for good.

    Keeping system images on an external drive is good to do.

    Or just keeping copies of individual files is good.

    On an external drive.
